PEMBROKE PINES - — Police are looking for a man accused of raping a woman at gunpoint after he offered to drive her to work when she missed her bus.

The woman had just missed a city bus at the intersection of Northwest 207th Street and 37th Avenue in Miami about 3 p.m. Wednesday when the man pulled up in a silver Mitsubishi Diamante and offered to give her a ride, police spokeswoman Maryann Flanagan said.

After driving the victim around Miramar, he asked for sex. When the woman said no, he raped her at gunpoint, Flanagan said.

The man is described as a black male, 6 feet and about 155 pounds. He has three gold capped teeth, dreadlocks on the top of his head and the sides of his head clean shaven, Flanagan said.

The suspect told the woman that he was 24 years old and a graduate of Carol City High School.
